ACC-B1G Challenge

You would think Illinois could just dominate every year with Chicago kids.

Yeah I know. Seems like they do a pretty shitty job of keeping kids at home... OR they are just going after the wrong ones. Of course as an Iowa fan that has got to watch Hinrich, Lafrentz, Barnes and Paige all leave in the last few years I cant say too much I guess. LOL

They never got the Chicago kids under Weber. In 2009-2010, there were 12 Chicagoland people who were first-team all conference in major conferences. This included guys like Evan Turner, Sherron Collins, John Scheyer, Luke Harangdy, E'Tuan Moore, Jerome Randle, and Jacob Pullen. And with all the Chicago guys dominating everywhere, Illinois had exactly one of the all-conference players: McCamey.

We'll see if it changes under Groce. They did land two Simeon guys last year, but they whiffed on Alexander and Okafor this year. I can't remember the last time Illinois had an elite Chicago Public School player.

Wow, how crazy is this? We're 10 minutes through the second half and Virginia only has one field goal and three points. Wisconsin with a 37-23 lead.

Good call, d-bag.

Looks like this thing is going to come down to Purdue-BC and Nebraska-Miami. Just how it should be. The big boys deciding it all..... LOL

Maryland is pretty terrible this year. This was an odd matchup IMO. Usually they try to keep the games competitive.

Last season Maryland wasn't too awful (25-13, NIT semis). With the addition of Smotrycz I would have expected Maryland to be fairly decent this season (Michigan could sure use him right now). 5-2 on the season with a near win over a good UConn team and an okay win over Providence. Still some hope for the Terps to make the NCAA Tourney. Probably a bubble team again and will need some big wins.

No need for personal attacks. I never said they were going to get beat. They were choking right after you typed your response which was true.

UVA got sucked right into Wisky-ball with those impressive 32 points deep in the 2nd half.

 

[MI Nightmare]

For sure. 100%. Even the Pitt/PSU matchup was weird IMO. I know they wanted all the "new" ACC teams to particiapte though so Im sure that explains it.

Watch out for those Nittany Lions. They're good for an upset or two.

way to take the charge Badgers! that was B1G

 

[douggie]

UVa is a scoring machine aren't they?

 

[MI Nightmare]

Wisky gonna Wisky. 48-38.

 

[hokiehi21]

LMAO UVA didnt even score 40. Hell yes good job Wiscy. Now beat UVA again by gettin Jamil Kamara.

 

[NDHoosier101]

Wow, I thought wisky was playing faster this year.

 

[Toucanbird]

Wisconsin holds on to win a pretty low scoring affair 48-38. I was REALLY impressed by the Badgers defensive performance. They didn't give Virginia a single easy look. I love that sort of defensive intensity.

 

[Smart]

Well, we did our part. The Badgers are the first road team to win. The ACC is gonna be up 5-4 going into the final three games. The B1G is home in all of them.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Fuck Wisconsin. I hate that shit but it works.

Good win and I'm not looking forward to facing the Badgers.

 

[Toucanbird]

Wow, I thought wisky was playing faster this year.

They usually do. Virginia is REALLY tough on the defensive end. Neither team was getting easy looks the whole night.
